Yet its verdant expanses and
rich forestlands have been a great attraction to people down the centuries
and for tourists down the decades. It offers a plethora of delightful
attractions in its cavalcade of historical places; rock cut carvings,

tranquility the perfect retreat to compile some of his works here.
Blending into the hills and valleys, the villages are a tapestry of rich
ethnic traditions. |
